Provisions of Ga. L. 1968, p. 1249, § 1 (see now O.C.G.A. § 16-11-34) were satisfied where defendants were at center of larger group, singing and shouting emanated from center of group, and noise caused students in classes to come to windows which necessarily disrupted normal activity of the school. Washington v. State, 126 Ga. App. 180, 190 S.E.2d 138 (1972).
- O.C.G.A. § 16-11-34(a) was overbroad and was unconstitutional; the literal language of the statute was so overbroad in its scope that it led to an absurdity manifestly not intended by the legislature, and its constitutionality could not have been preserved by judicial construction. State v. Fielden, 280 Ga. 444, 629 S.E.2d 252 (2006).
- Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was not violated by the arrest of citizens who attended a city council meeting to express views on renaming a public park but refused to obey the rules of order because probable cause to arrest existed, even though O.C.G.A. § 16-11-34, which criminalized the disruption of a public meeting, was later struck down as unconstitutionally overbroad. Harris v. City of Valdosta, 616 F. Supp. 2d 1310 (M.D. Ga. 2009).
